Security, like addressing, is an issue we don't have to worry about;
several institutions are working on implementing strong security into
WWW transactions, and within a year or so strong security will probably
be built into most Internet communications.
There's a www-security mail list; send mail to
www-security-request@ns1.rutgers.edu.
